I feel like a lucky lady because I just had the opportunity to view (and feel!!) the entire Donna Karan Collection “The Cashmere Collection” for pre-Spring 2010.  You have not experienced luxury until you have wrapped yourself in Donna cashmere!  The Cashmere Collection that has been released mid-Fall is a new collection for Donna Karan and it consists of beautiful cashmere separates that can be mixed and matched to create a complete outfit with layers of luxurious cashmere.  Some of my favorite pieces from the collection are the accessories.

I’ve been noticing all of the colorful plastic and rubber watches that have been gaining popularity as an affordable fashion accessory lately and trying to decide which kind to get.  The classic Timex 80 is an obvious option, but I have recently been intrigued by the bright colors and personalization of Toywatch watches.
This Toywatch Jelly Customizable Watch has a fun concept that takes me back to my childhood days.  Little girls love changing their jewelry to match their outfit, and I remember that I had lots of accessories with similar customizable concepts when I was growing up.  The Jelly Watch …read more

I think we can thank the recession for inspiring designers to create versatile pieces that have more than one function.  I am absolutely loving all of the “transformer” styles that have been popping up everywhere lately.  Every category of clothing is coming up with a design that is “this slash that” so we can buy one piece and use it in a multitude of ways.  Some popular takes on this idea that I have seen are a wrap dress becomes a halter dress or a bandeau dress and a scarf that becomes a hood.

Reading glasses are becoming a piece of fashion that makes women have a smart, sexy, and sophisticated look!  It seems that nearly all adults over the age of 20 have to wear readers these days, so you might as well buy a more pricey pair that looks great.
I have to wear readers all day to avoid a headache from working on a computer, so it’s important that I find a pair that are cute and don’t make me look like a granny.  I have a few favorite readers designers, and one of them is Kate Spade.  You can find a …read more

With all the gadgets we carry around on a daily basis, from our mobiles to our ipods, we never not know what the time of day is, but watches are always classic accessory pieces.  They can be dressy, casual, glitzy, oversized, brightly coloured and/or sporty but they’re always ‘in’. They also are great gift ideas since you don’t necessarily have to worry about anyone’s size, just their taste and lifestyle.
For Her:
TOYWATCH ‘Crystal & Metal Collection’ Chronograph Watch ($295)

I usually tend to shy away from any bag with appliqué details as they tend to veer towards the ostentatious and gaudy side of the vast handbag spectrum of style. However, these Versace handbags are well worth a closer look.
The Versace Flower Appliqué Jacquard Satchel ($2490) is a luxe bag with the signature greek key jacquard pattern in a pretty purple shade. The double handle satchel can be hand carried or worn on the crook of your arm.  It’s trimmed in a tonal patent and smooth leather. The floral appliqué gives it a playful touch and dresses it up.
A great …read more
